FDA

If you don’t currently have a Certified Food Safety Manager on staff for your retail food establishment, the FDA would like to gently nudge you to do so.

As the FDA ramps up food safety efforts, they are encouraging retail food establishments to take the step voluntarily. Having the choice to do so may soon be out of your hands, as the FDA is pushing state and local regulatory bodies to mandate it.

Currently most states, including Michigan, only require that restaurants have a certified food safety manager on hand.

According to stats from the FDA’s 2008 Trend Analysis Report, restaurants with certified food safety managers are greater compliance than those without.

While the findings of the FDA certainly make sense. As a retail food establishment, how would you feel about a mandatory requirement?

Student Testimonial

I was concerned about taking the ServSafe manager test, but after the review course with Billy Strawter I felt much more confident and appreciated his patience, clear instruction, and willingness to work with all the students until everyone understood each concept. I would highly recommend Billy Strawter to anyone taking this certification course.

I took your class in ServSafe a week ago and underwent the exam, which I am happy to report I passed with a high score. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for making the class so interesting, for explaining things thoroughly, and for your genuine personal interest in each one of us. Your leadership and expertise was quite evident! I hope this certification will allow me greater opportunities in the culinary field, or even maybe something in the food safety industry itself, as I continue to submit my resume and portfolio to respective companies.

Mr. Strawter was very instrumental in assisting to get our new facility ready to open. He is very meticulous and professional. He assisted us in assessing the staff’s educational needs, while at the same time provided our staff with the teachings needed to succeed. Mr. Strawter is very helpful in developing SOPs for our kitchen. We highly recommend him.
